Shamsubahrin was charged with two counts of cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property under section 420 of the Penal Code.

He is alleged to have committed the offences on November 20 at a Bukit Tunku restaurant here and between November 25 and December 6 in Solaris Mont Kiara, also in Kuala Lumpur.

If convicted, Shamsubahrin faces a jail term of between one and 10 years with whipping and a fine.

He pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Judge Ahmad Zamzani Mohd Zain set bail at RM300,000 with one bailor and asked Shamsubahrin to surrender his passport.

The case is up for mention on January 21.

Shamsubahrin had earlier been remanded by the police for allegedly trying to bribe three to four senior CCID officers assigned to the NFCorp probe.

Police are investigating NFCorp for alleged criminal breach of trust, following accusations by PKR that the company had misused millions in federal funds meant for a cattle feedlot scheme.

Shamsubahrin, said to own a consultancy service and a premium taxi company, was later handed over to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).

The national anti-graft body announced last week it would investigate claims that NFCorp had misappropriated government funds, despite previously saying it would not probe the matter.

The MACC later seized a computer CPU and several documents during a raid on NFCorp’s headquarters in Solaris Mont Kiara.

PKR first latched onto the issue after the RM250 million publicly-funded cattle project - run by Mohamad Salleh, husband to federal minister Datuk Seri Shahrizat Jalil - made it into the pages of this year’s Auditor-General’s Report for failing to meet production targets.

The opposition party has since made several revelations relating to the scandal, including NFC’s purchase of two multi-million ringgit condominium units in Bangsar and alleged use of project funds to Shahrizat and her family’s personal expenses and trips abroad.

It also claimed there was a transfer of resources to unrelated companies in Singapore, as well as the purchase a Mercedes-Benz CLS350 for RM534,622 and two plots of land in Putrajaya’s Precinct 10 for RM3,363,507.

The latest disclosure by PKR, made last Tuesday, further alleged that some RM10 million had been diverted towards the purchase of a luxury condominium unit in Singapore for Shahrizat’s family.

Shahrizat tried deflecting attention by stating she’s “only the wife” of the national cattle farming project’s chairman and had nothing to do with the NFC.

The senator has faced calls to quit as minister from within Umno, including from influential former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

Will you believe this? MACC arrested this datuk instead of the other datuk who has the backing of a minister, and this guy is laughing all the way to the court? How much he is paid to take all the blame from the other datuk?

All said, this is just a "wayang-wayang", like my name suggests.

I would like to post this question to the officials in MACC. If Datuk Shamsubahrin is paid to influence the outcome of the investigation - who is the person is paying him? Am sure you don't need Sherlock Holmes to give you the answer!! Don't you think that the person who pay him should be arrested?

It looks more like an "underground boss" arranged a service of a man to face prosecution and jail sentence on his behalf so that the Polis can close the "case"

As long as UMNO and BN continues to rule the nation we will continue to see this kind of clown movies directed and produced by them. Lets get rid of them in the next GE. If every Malaysian reject them then even with all the illegals and foreigners they would not be in power. It is in the hands of the Malaysians to do this.

This UMNO actor could not have been laughing his way to jail( more like laughing his way to a big fat bank account) for offering himself as a scape goat forr trying to bribe the investigating officers and which the AG changed to offering fraudulent consultancy services. We never forget how another actor of UMNO, Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan, went to court wearing a designer suit which cost a few thousand ringgit and laughing his way to a big fat bank account as well by inserting a plastic into his own ass. Will the God fearing Malaysians be amused and applaud UMNO creativity to cling to power at all cost?

A Datuk is Charged for Cheating Another Datuk !

Who is to be Charged for CHEATING the RAKYAT for RM 250,000,000.oo. ?

The Money can buy Each and Every Rakyat a Calf @ Rm100 that Can Grow into a Cow Selling for Rm1,000.oo in a year for a Profit of Rm900.oo Each. That is a Total Gross PROFITS of RM 2,250,000,000.oo= Rm 2.25 Billion for All the Rakyat of Malaysia !

Those who are responsible for the Scandal Should be Charged for the Loss of Net Profits( Rm 2.25 Billion - Expenses ) to the Rakyat

My father struggles defending Malaysia from communist. but now Malaysia been rob buy respectable politician so called defender of agama, bangsa dan negara. so sad.

The cheating charge against Datuk Shamsubahrin Ismail is an attempt to divert attention away from the National Feedlot Corporation (NFC) scandal..

That allegations of misappropriating public funds linked to the national cattle farming project remain unanswered.

The case has been linked to minister Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil’s family. Her husband, Datuk Dr Mohamad Salleh Ismail, is the NFC chairman and chief executive while their children help run the business.

Shamsubahrin, 45, was charged at the Sessions Court yesterday with cheating Mohamad Sallehout of RM1.76 million in consultation fees by offering the latter fraudulent advisory services.

The charge brought against Shamsubahrin Ismail shocks the nation and will go down in Malaysian history as the most ridiculous diversion ever attempted.

The NFC scandal has reached the temperature that the public demands immediate action to recover all the public money spent and bring those responsible for the misappropriation to be accountable..

The evidence disclosed to the public so far had been “compelling” and and that it has not been denied “even once” by the NFC, Shahrizat, or any other Umno leader from the ruling coalition.

That Umno leadership thinks they can make Malaysians believe that the NFC leadership is a victim of a fraud perpetrated by Shamsubaharin, just proves that Umno has lost the plot.

By the strength of this evidence alone, in other countries with a functioning rule of law (this) would be sufficient to bring Datuk Seri Shahrizat and her family to justice..

We allshouldcontinue the issue and make sure that the people responsible for approving the project and soft loans are brought to justice.

If Umno refuses the rule of law to judge those responsible, then let the court of public opinion judges Umno and its leadership for its failure to act on NFC..

The charge against Shamsubahrin did not provide any explanation to how federal funds for a cattle project were used to purchase luxury condominiums.

By charging him it does not mean the original case has gone away.Morally, politically something has to be done. Allegations on abuse of funds have to be answered..

The government should make public the papers and documents relating to NFCorp’s cattle project, and that complete transparency was the way to solve the debacle.

29 December 2011

PKR called today on Datuk Seri Jamil Khir Baharom to break his silence over alleged abuse of RM32,150 in zakat money, piling the pressure on the minister in the prime minister’s department after a former top policeman called on the senator to be investigated.

Retired city criminal investigation chief Datuk Mat Zain Ibrahim had said today police should probe Jamil and two senior Federal Territory Islamic Religious Council (MAIWP) officials with the same vigour they showed in pursuing tithe collector Reduan Mohd Said for the same offence recently.

“Is there a difference between an ordinary tithe collector and a minister? Jamil Khir should not remain silent and answer these allegations which will cause outrage among Muslims,” PKR communications director Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad (picture) said.

Mat Zain said yesterday the minister in charge of Islamic affairs and the duo should face legal action for using zakat funds to settle personal legal fees last year as recorded in the Auditor-General’s report for 2010.

The costs were incurred when Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim named the trio as respondents in his qazaf application.

The audit report also confirmed that the sum was repaid to the fund after the council obtained a RM700,00 grant in June last year as part of its general resources allocation from the government.

But Nik Nazmi said in a statement today MAIWP only repaid the amount in December.

“How is it that MAIWP can so easily use zakat funds meant for specific purposes for other expenses?” the Seri Setia assemblyman asked.

Mat Zain had insisted the trio committed misappropriation of property under Section 403 of the Penal Code and should be punished accordingly.

He also cited Section 409B of the Penal Code, which states that if any offence prescribed in Section 403 and 404 is proven, “it shall be presumed that he had acted dishonestly until the contrary is proved”.

Surah at-Taubah (9) verse 60: "The alms are only for the poor and the needy, and those who collect them, and those whose hearts are to be reconciled, and to free the captives and the debtors, and for the cause of Allah, and (for) the wayfarers; a duty imposed by Allah. Allah is knower, Wise." (The Holy Qur'an 9:60).

From the above verse, Zakat is distributed among 8 categories of people, namely:

Fakir - One who has neither material possessions nor means of livelihood. Miskin - One with insufficient means of livelihood to meet basic needs. Amil - One who is appointed to collect zakat. Muallaf - One who converts to Islam. Riqab - One who wants to free himself from bondage or the shackles of slavery. Gharmin - One who is in debt Fisabillillah - One who fights for the cause of Allah. Ibnus Sabil - One who is stranded in journey.

So which category does Jamil Khir Baharom fall into?

His problem is that Zakat money is not supposed to be used as capital for investment. Zakat is strictly for disbursement to those in need. Once you use Zakat money for investment or business, who is accountable? Since right now we have muslims asking for donations from churches, the poor should have priority to receive Zakat money.

Khir Toyo - said buying cheap is on a "willing buyer willing seller" basis not amounting to corruption KLIA2 - project overrun from RM2B to RM3.9B because of stupid reason to accommodate airbus 380 NFC - squandered RM250M, wife said it is her husband's business, nothing to do with her & umno. Iskandar Project - husband collected monies, wife can also said not her business.

For information Malaysain Muslims contributed more than a billion ringgit of zakat annually .RM1.2 billion was collected last year. If properly managed and distributed, there should not be any poor Muslims in the country, not to the extent of having some of them being forced to seek help from non-Muslims organisation as we have seen in the recent Damansara fiasco. As long as we have corrupted UMNO at the helm this abuse has been repeated in the disappearance of RM50.0 billion worth of Bumiputra shares MAIWP - RM32.15M money just vanished, still keep mum & duck his head into the sand thought he can't see but everyone can see. BN - Still got Integrity & credibility?? Kick them out ASAP!

He was joined by former PAS deputy president Nasharudin Mat Isa, who had similarly spoken out against the party for deviating from Islamic principles.

The maverick duo had earlier been summoned by party leaders to explain their decision to air their grievances against the Islamist party in Umno-linked papers Utusan Malaysia and Berita Harian.

Hasan was also featured almost nightly on TV3 last week criticising the party that removed him as Selangor PAS chief at its general assembly in June.

He had accused PAS of straying from its original struggle for an Islamic state by pushing for a welfare state, as the latter could be championed by anyone and did not have to be based on the Quran.

Hasan later apologised for his remarks, noting that he now understood the proposed welfare state adopted in June to be the same as the Islamic state PAS has fought for since the 1970s.

But details of the welfare state would still need to be examined to ensure they were identical to those underpinning the Islamic state concept, he stressed.

Do not trust him... I believe he apologised today as he has not get a firm confirmation from UMNO on his future. Or perhaps, he has lost the bargaining power (with UMNO) when PAS asked him to leave.

or...Maybe to appease and delay until he can gain the objective he is committed to which i believe is motivated more by his faith. In a sense it would be commendable of him. Just as it would be commendable of Hitler having stayed the course to achieve the goals he had envisioned and committed himself to.

Whatever it is the scars always remain. Probably PAS should look into Sarawak DAP how they contained their Voon and thereafter saw the party regain its strength to flicker the Pekmo's beard.

The damage is already done especially amongst the kampung folks who only have access to the BN controlled media.

If he is sincere may be he should go to the kampong folks to admit his mistake and apologise so as to regain back the support.

We have seen through him and he has demonstrated to the Malaysian public that he is one that cannot be trusted anymore; no guarantee he will do it again!Just show him the exit door, PAS!

PAS has made a grave mistake by accepting Hasan Ali's "apology" instead of sacking him from the party. I am now having second thoughts about PAS walking the talk as the leadership is reluctant to make the correct decisions.

Hasan Ali must now appear in Utusan Malaysia, Berita Harian and TV3 and all other possible mainstream media to correct his words. Only then will he be respected.

Nik Aziz and the council's action of receiving him and Nasharudin will create more chaos as those insider who oppose his action will now be very unhappy with this.

Hasan Ali and Nasharudin MUST go everywhere in the country to show their sincerity. Apologizing to Nik Aziz and the council is NOT ENOUGH.

Hasan, take a hike ! Do the honourable thing, join Barisan and have all the air time you want.!!

This idiot must be a secret agent of UMNO. Otherwise, no sensible PAS members want the main stream media. We know our main stream media is a one sided media, only report the bad side of the oposition.

hassan ali used to be involved with the Biro tata Negara - the brianwashing machine of the government in 70's and 80's..' So please understand his modus operandi...If he loves Islam more than he loves PAS and himself..then he should stop giving press conference to the main stream media. To other guys in PAS just refrain from arguing with this guy. he seems to have a different agenda. If you have been following his tantrums, then you ould realise his cunning plans!!

Why didn't the main stream gives media coverage to Anwar Ibrahim, Lim Guan Eng, Nurul Izzah and others about their achievements. What so great about Hassan Ali that the main stream media give him so much coverage. He is a nobody in PAS. He is almost at the bottom rung with no enough nomination. So why did the mainstream media gives him so much media attention. Isn't there an Agenda? Who will believe that there is no Agenda? Even a stupid fools knows there is an Agenda.

I can guarantee you Hasan Ali is challenging Pas to sack him so that his puppet master can use it to potray Pas as undemocratic and unsuitable to rule Putrajaya in GE13
